Does Care222 inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19?
Yes. A recent study conducted at the Hiroshima University Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences shows that Ushio’s Care222 lamps “effectively inactivate SARS-CoV-2 (the COVID-19 virus).” This and other studies show that shorter irradiation times are needed to inactivate the COVID-19 virus. Additional research can be found on our latest news and research page.
